For glossy red lips ~ Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Cherries in the Glow

Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Cherries in the Glow

Whenever I am at Shoppers Stop, Lifestyle or Health and Glow I always feel so tempted to buy Revlon products. But Revlon prices are too high for what is essentially a drugstore brand. A couple of months back I had an hour to go before boarding and there was this Revlon counter at the airport and no SA. I went crazy swatching everything.  It was so much fun. I loved the eyeshadow quad. Almost all of the quads had very pretty colors. But I held back because of the price ~ Arnd 600-700.

I bought a couple of Super Lustrous lipglosses a year back. Cherries in the glow was one of them and it is really really pretty. This type of muted red color is one of my favorite colors for lip products. This kinda looks like the Nivea Lip balm in strawberry. This color instantly brightens up my face.

Price? Rs 400 approximately

Lip Gloss Love ~ Bourjois Effet 3d Max Lipgloss in 68 Brun etincelant , Review , Swatches

Bourjois Effet 3D Max lipgloss

Bourjois is one of my favorite drugstore brands. Have you seen their collection of blushes? It is really amazing. I think Bourjois is the only drugstore brand in India which has so many shades in blushes. Their eye liner collection is huge as well. They have eye pencils in many different formulas like the Smoky pencils, the Metallic ones etc etc.

Bourjois lipglosses are quite famous and are raved about by quite a few people. I have been using the Effet 3D max lipgloss for a few months now and it is one of my go to makeup product. The color I have (68 Brun etincelant) is a nude pink color and it goes perfectly with just about any lipstick. I use this on its own for a quick simple makeup look. This color also works amazingly to tone down bright lipsticks. You know for one of those days when I am feeling very adventorus about my makeup and put on a bright lip. But just on the way out I re think the color. Instead of wiping off that gorgeous bright coral/pink lipstick I just swipe this gloss once. And these are the only drugstore lipglosses which have not dried out my lips.

Price? Around Rs 550

Luxe lips ~ MAC Lychee luxe lip gloss,Review and swatches

I love MAC. My pulse races with excitement when I am at a mac store . And fortunately or unfortunately a new MAC store opened a stone’s throw from my place. I really have to resist the urge to go in every other day. Every time in am in the store I feel like swatching each and every eye shadow and feel like going home with at least 5. But since MAC is quite expensive here in India that cant happen as often as I would like it too. Seriously I don’t understand the pricing policy  of higher end brands. Hike up the prices in a developing country and keep the prices low elsewhere? I had been lusting after the Clinique quick blush for a really long time. It retails for 22 dollars in US. And guess its price in India. 1800 rs!!!. The  mark up is quite ridiculous!!

MAC Lychee Luxe Lipglass

(After a few deep breaths). Ok lets continue talking about  MAC Lychee Luxe lipgloss. I had read rave reviews of this gloss in many many blogs and swatched it multiple number of times at the store but I always thought this looks too orange.Last week was the first time I tried it one on my lips. And oh my god this is such a beautiful color. This is one of those colors which is wearable on skin but looks scary in the packaging.This is a bright coral with lovely golden shimmer. You can layer it up for a bold coral lip or sheer it down for a peachy golden glow. I love it!
